Ezra 8:15-36

And I gathered them together
<06908> (8799)
to the river
<05104>
that runneth
<0935> (8802)
to Ahava
<0163>_;
and there abode we in tents
<02583> (8799)
three
<07969>
days
<03117>_:
and I viewed
<0995> (8799)
the people
<05971>_,
and the priests
<03548>_,
and found
<04672> (8804)
there none of the sons
<01121>
of Levi
<03878>_.
{abode: or, pitched}
Then sent
<07971> (8799)
I for Eliezer
<0461>_,
for Ariel
<0740>_,
for Shemaiah
<08098>_,
and for Elnathan
<0494>_,
and for Jarib
<03402>_,
and for Elnathan
<0494>_,
and for Nathan
<05416>_,
and for Zechariah
<02148>_,
and for Meshullam
<04918>_,
chief men
<07218>_;
also for Joiarib
<03114>_,
and for Elnathan
<0494>_,
men of understanding
<0995> (8688)_.
And I sent
<06680> (8762)
them with commandment
<03318> (8686)
unto Iddo
<0112>
the chief
<07218>
at the place
<04725>
Casiphia
<03703>_,
and I told
<07760> (8799) <06310>
them what
<01697>
they should say
<01696> (8763)
unto Iddo
<0112>_,
[and] to his brethren
<0251>
the Nethinims
<05411> (8675) <05411>_,
at the place
<04725>
Casiphia
<03703>_,
that they should bring
<0935> (8687)
unto us ministers
<08334> (8764)
for the house
<01004>
of our God
<0430>_.
{I told...: Heb. I put words in their mouth}
And by the good
<02896>
hand
<03027>
of our God
<0430>
upon us they brought
<0935> (8686)
us a man
<0376>
of understanding
<07922>_,
of the sons
<01121>
of Mahli
<04249>_,
the son
<01121>
of Levi
<03878>_,
the son
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_;
and Sherebiah
<08274>_,
with his sons
<01121>
and his brethren
<0251>_,
eighteen
<08083> <06240>_;
And Hashabiah
<02811>_,
and with him Jeshaiah
<03470>
of the sons
<01121>
of Merari
<04847>_,
his brethren
<0251>
and their sons
<01121>_,
twenty
<06242>_;
Also of the Nethinims
<05411>_,
whom David
<01732>
and the princes
<08269>
had appointed
<05414> (8804)
for the service
<05656>
of the Levites
<03881>_,
two hundred
<03967>
and twenty
<06242>
Nethinims
<05411>_:
all of them were expressed
<05344> (8738)
by name
<08034>_.
Then I proclaimed
<07121> (8799)
a fast
<06685>
there, at the river
<05104>
of Ahava
<0163>_,
that we might afflict
<06031> (8692)
ourselves before
<06440>
our God
<0430>_,
to seek
<01245> (8763)
of him a right
<03477>
way
<01870>
for us, and for our little ones
<02945>_,
and for all our substance
<07399>_.
For I was ashamed
<0954> (8804)
to require
<07592> (8800)
of the king
<04428>
a band of soldiers
<02428>
and horsemen
<06571>
to help
<05826> (8800)
us against the enemy
<0341> (8802)
in the way
<01870>_:
because we had spoken
<0559> (8804)
unto the king
<04428>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The hand
<03027>
of our God
<0430>
[is] upon all them for good
<02896>
that seek
<01245> (8764)
him; but his power
<05797>
and his wrath
<0639>
[is] against all them that forsake
<05800> (8802)
him.
So we fasted
<06684> (8799)
and besought
<01245> (8762)
our God
<0430>
for this: and he was intreated
<06279> (8735)
of us.
Then I separated
<0914> (8686)
twelve
<08147> <06240>
of the chief
<08269>
of the priests
<03548>_,
Sherebiah
<08274>_,
Hashabiah
<02811>_,
and ten
<06235>
of their brethren
<0251>
with them,
And weighed
<08254> (8799)
unto them the silver
<03701>_,
and the gold
<02091>_,
and the vessels
<03627>_,
[even] the offering
<08641>
of the house
<01004>
of our God
<0430>_,
which the king
<04428>_,
and his counsellors
<03289> (8802)_,
and his lords
<08269>_,
and all Israel
<03478>
[there] present
<04672> (8737)_,
had offered
<07311> (8689)_:
I even weighed
<08254> (8799)
unto their hand
<03027>
six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>
talents
<03603>
of silver
<03701>_,
and silver
<03701>
vessels
<03627>
an hundred
<03967>
talents
<03603>_,
[and] of gold
<02091>
an hundred
<03967>
talents
<03603>_;
Also twenty
<06242>
basons
<03713>
of gold
<02091>_,
of a thousand
<0505>
drams
<0150>_;
and two
<08147>
vessels
<03627>
of fine
<02896> <06668> (8716)
copper
<05178>_,
precious
<02532>
as gold
<02091>_.
{fine...: Heb. yellow, or, shining brass} {precious: Heb. desirable}
And I said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Ye [are] holy
<06944>
unto the LORD
<03068>_;
the vessels
<03627>
[are] holy
<06944>
also; and the silver
<03701>
and the gold
<02091>
[are] a freewill offering
<05071>
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of your fathers
<01>_.
Watch
<08245> (8798)
ye, and keep
<08104> (8798)
[them], until ye weigh
<08254> (8799)
[them] before
<06440>
the chief
<08269>
of the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>_,
and chief
<08269>
of the fathers
<01>
of Israel
<03478>_,
at Jerusalem
<03389>_,
in the chambers
<03957>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
So took
<06901> (8765)
the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>
the weight
<04948>
of the silver
<03701>_,
and the gold
<02091>_,
and the vessels
<03627>_,
to bring
<0935> (8687)
[them] to Jerusalem
<03389>
unto the house
<01004>
of our God
<0430>_.
Then we departed
<05265> (8799)
from the river
<05104>
of Ahava
<0163>
on the twelfth
<08147> <06240>
[day] of the first
<07223>
month
<02320>_,
to go
<03212> (8800)
unto Jerusalem
<03389>_:
and the hand
<03027>
of our God
<0430>
was upon us, and he delivered
<05337> (8686)
us from the hand
<03709>
of the enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
and of such as lay in wait
<0693> (8802)
by the way
<01870>_.
And we came
<0935> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and abode
<03427> (8799)
there three
<07969>
days
<03117>_.
Now on the fourth
<07243>
day
<03117>
was the silver
<03701>
and the gold
<02091>
and the vessels
<03627>
weighed
<08254> (8738)
in the house
<01004>
of our God
<0430>
by the hand
<03027>
of Meremoth
<04822>
the son
<01121>
of Uriah
<0223>
the priest
<03548>_;
and with him [was] Eleazar
<0499>
the son
<01121>
of Phinehas
<06372>_;
and with them [was] Jozabad
<03107>
the son
<01121>
of Jeshua
<03442>_,
and Noadiah
<05129>
the son
<01121>
of Binnui
<01131>_,
Levites
<03881>_;
By number
<04557>
[and] by weight
<04948>
of every one: and all the weight
<04948>
was written
<03789> (8735)
at that time
<06256>_.
[Also] the children
<01121>
of those that had been carried away
<01473>_,
which were come out
<0935> (8802)
of the captivity
<07628>_,
offered
<07126> (8689)
burnt offerings
<05930>
unto the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
twelve
<08147> <06240>
bullocks
<06499>
for all Israel
<03478>_,
ninety
<08673>
and six
<08337>
rams
<0352>_,
seventy
<07657>
and seven
<07651>
lambs
<03532>_,
twelve
<08147> <06240>
he goats
<06842>
[for] a sin offering
<02403>_:
all [this was] a burnt offering
<05930>
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
And they delivered
<05414> (8799)
the king's
<04428>
commissions
<01881>
unto the king's
<04428>
lieutenants
<0323>_,
and to the governors
<06346>
on this side
<05676>
the river
<05104>_:
and they furthered
<05375> (8765)
the people
<05971>_,
and the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_.
